Yes, it was interesting but in all honestly, it would be a seriously cumbersome way to work when you actually have the advantage of sight.

I know you may as well put on a sleep band to cover your eyes!

The tactile interface was cool but feeling around a waveform rather than just being able to look at the whole thing is not a faster or more intuitive way to work. It may seem great but this as for someone who was blind and they didn't have another option.

A full voice automated system would be the best approach i think (but super complicated i guess, and many hours in development.

If you want to get away from looking at a screen just buy hardware or learn to play real instruments. Changing the DAW system so you're not using one of the primary senses is not really the greatest answer.

agree stick with hardware its the easiest way to remove one of your senses after you build familiarity with the equipment. But, then would you really benefit from this, perhaps?

So Akridot you would need further proof to substantiate your argument. But, i agree with you all the way. Some people arn't as open minded or see the change as so minute that its negligible as to whether any significant variation occurred whatsoever.

They have

Producing in the dark is not enough for your brain to reconfigure itself to alot more sensory processing to the ears rather than from the eyes.

They have also done studies which show that only being blind as a child produces significant increase in auditory processing.

So it really is a silly idea.

I don't think it would change the actual auditory processing, but it would probably change your work habits and what you concentrate on quite drastically, which could have an effect on your sound.

definitely

but it seemed like the OP had some illusions regarding killing one sense making the other stronger. Unless you are actually blind, it won't. The ear develops out of necessity unlike people who are not blind and have no biological use for a super ear.

I see so that says something about evolution and genetic dispositions then i guess.

I don't quite follow. What does evolution or genetic disposition have to do with anything I said .

well being its a silly idea given the nature of advancement would be limited in any particular case therefore to me it suggests that the evolutionary pathway is limited in change over shorter periods of time - thus making it that we are predisposed to that particular genetic characteristic.

if i still dont make sense tell me to shut up!
